Andrew and Sandy

October 12, 2019

Wedding: Eden Church in Edwardsville, IL

Reception: Knights of Columbus Hall in Highland, IL

There is just something special when I photograph a church ceremony. I know I wasn't the only one tearing up as Sandy walked down the aisle. She was STUNNING. Andrew and Sandy are such a loving couple. Even at our initial consultation, I could tell they how excited they were. And boy did they have an amazing wedding day. I loved being around both of these families. There was so much joy and happiness! Every little detail was so beautiful. It all came together flawlessly. The portrait session took place on their family's farm. This was where Andrew proposed to Sandy! I love when couples choose locations that mean something to them and to their loved ones. After a fun portrait session (okay I was bossy, but did you see the size of that wedding party?!), we headed to their reception- ON TIME. And these kids were down to par-tay! It was an absolute blast. Large wedding receptions always come with a ton of energy. This one was definitely no exception especially with the amazing band they had on stage!

Congratulations you two! So very glad I was there to capture it all.
